Coalition 2016

Coalition 2016 was an electoral alliance in The Gambia that was formed by Gambian presidential candidate Adama Barrow, uniting several liberal opposition parties against Yahya Jammeh's conservative Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC) in the late 2016 presidential election. The party united socialist, social democratic, liberal, and moderate factions of Gambian politics to bring an end to Jammeh's dictatorship, and Barrow won the election in December 2016. The coalition would not come to power until 20 January 2017, when Jammeh was forced to concede his loss to Barrow after a quick invasion by several West African nations' armies.
